We've had many warm and sunny days lately, an unexpected surprise for November.

And maybe it's just me but we've also been experiencing some

of the most beautiful sunsets this last little while.

With days growing shorter and shorter my photography time outdoors is becoming,
shall we say, rather limited and last night I spent my entire trip home
completely engrossed in the sky and slightly wishing I had a chauffeur.
Just think of all the photos I would be able to snap and yep, probably safer too.

Note to lady who birthed me:

No photography at the wheel was committed in the attainment of these photos.

Those warmer days I mentioned also means we've had more time

to allow Ember out to roam amongst the giants in her backyard.

Fortunately, she's learned the skill of camouflage.

Orange cat. Green wheelbarrow.

"Nothing will find me here."

These mild days of sunshine and happiness have also given our heirloom carrots a chance to stay, just a little bit longer, in the ground. After a July that saw no rain and the hottest day on record in over fifty years, I had my doubts that there would be much of a carrot harvest this year but we've made out like bandits. There was a entire wheelbarrow full, less one cat, of course.

And after a summer spent building a coop and having some meet and greets with a few thousand bees,

next year will be focused solely on gardening.

And planning.
And we figured if goats are moving in,
we best see if we like goat milk.

such lovely colours in your first photo -really like the composition too. i'm still smiling about your clever cat managing her surroundings. glad the goat's milk passed the test, can't say i've ever had any although i did milk a goat once, unsuccessfully i should add.

Can I please name one of the goats when they come home? I have always wanted one..I am quite sad that we didn't get one for Annie when she was a wee thing! Lovely pics! Ember is a doll! So is that little one hiding behind yummy goats milk. We do too :)xo, misha

Hello again, love your blog and the pics are fantastic, especially orange cat. so cute. Would love you to pop over to my blog sometime to have a look at my storm cloud and sunset photos. Cheers.I'm blog hopping from Katherine's Corner, already a follower.

Ember is just so beautiful! I love the disclaimer....made me laugh right out loud. :) Our weather, with the exception of 2 days of snow, has been on the warmer side as well. Such a strange year. Sigh....I wish I liked goats milk. I just can't drink it but I'm still determined to have a small array of those beautiful little animals. Guess I will be making a whole lot of goats milk soap! :)Have a great weekend.Staci
